The Wikipedia page for referee Valentin Valentinovich Ivanov has already been updated, vandalised and now semi-protected...

Not a popular man right now.

I believe he has just equalled the World Cup record for bookings and set one for red cards.

But other than that page, I'm sure Wikipedia is entirely accurate!

Yup. At least one of which was given to a player who hadn't actually done anything, from the look of it.

Actually, his Wikipedia page is also pretty accurate now - they removed all of the junk when they protected it...

I didn't see it, but I wandered in for the punditry afterwards, and cursed having missed the match. Thanks for letting us know - it's the details that make it all worthwhile.

He spoiled the game. It was a farce!

I notice that he was very good at running backwards, though.

They made me watch it, it wasn't by choice!
